Santley Redfern

This story just came in from Bill.

In 2009 I had the privilege of being one of a
‘small band’ of volunteers who came together to try and locate the next
of kin of those young Australians who had been killed at Fromelles in
1916. Mine, by comparison to many, was an insignificant role, but it is
one of which I am proud.

Recently, I assisted Ian, who had two of Santley’s medals, to pass them on to the family.

Out
of respect for the family and after a request I will say no more. Other
than to express a thanks to Ian who came to me with the medals, seeking
my help and then at his own expense had the medals mounted before they ‘went home’.
